Tuesday night featured a lot of sights Wild fans haven’t seen in a while. A home game. Five goals against.
Next up for the Wild is a home tilt on Thursday against the Vancouver Canucks. Hopefully they can return the favor for a 5-2 defeat they suffered on October 29th.

Thanks, Joe Bouley, for the opportunity to pitch in!
With that said, let’s walk!
